You're asking the wrong question. 'Disabling the back button' changes the expected behaviour of the browser and as such is an *EVIL* thing to do, roughly on par with driving the wrong way down one-way streets or spray-painting your neighbor's cat. What you want is to 'prevent the user from accessing or resubmitting the form after it has been submitted', and the question is the answer: when the form is submitted set a flag; check the flag before showing a page or accepting a submission.
